Neck sizing .308 BH with Lee Collet Die
Looking for a little advice. Been reloading straight sided handgun ammo for years, but new to shouldered rifle cartridges. I am reloading once fired Black Hills, using a Lee Collet die for neck sizing only. I tested on five empties and this is what I got. Does it sound correct to those with experience?

.3031" ID doesn't sound right to me, but I'm no expert. My Lee collet die sizes 308Win case necks to .306-.307" ID. Are you sure you have the right mandrel? The correct mandrel for .308Win is .3055" in diameter.
